Berluti x Cycles Victoire

The popularity of cycling has soared in recent years and a number of exciting new companies have emerged as a result. Some of these young upstarts chose to focus on performance bikes whereas others have taken a more stylish approach. Cycles Victoire however, have considered both, as well as ensuring their bikes are completely hand finished for superior quality.

They were only established in 2011 but Cycles Victoire have already established a strong reputation for building timeless designs at competitive prices. Now, the French brand have teamed up with fellow countrymen, Berluti, for a bespoke collection of suitably stylish bicycles and accessories.

Renowned for their expert craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail, Berluti is a brand that knows a thing or two about aesthetics. Their collaboration with Cycles Victoire is a no-brainer and the bike they’ve produced is every bit as stylish as you might imagine.

As you would expect, the finest materials are used throughout the construction and the bikes are assembled by hand in their French workshop, meaning that the quality of the finished product is unparalleled. The custom wheels feature wooden rims as well as an aluminium alloy in the spokes and hub, meaning they’re lightweight as well as durable.

The in-house frame is custom-made from crude steel tubing to complement the rider’s own body shape and cycling style. This kind of attention to detail and personalised approach means that each and every Berluti bicycle is unique, an attribute that is becoming increasingly rare in our fast-paced, mass-produced world.
